A 35‐year‐old female patient with a large residual shunt following transcatheter closure of a large secundum atrial septal defect using the Das‐Angel Wings device underwent successful complete closure of the residual shunt using a 15‐mm Amplatzer Septal Occluder. Transesophageal (two‐ and three‐dimensional) echocardiography was of great help during the closure procedure. Cathet. Cardiovasc. Intervent. 48:184–187, 1999. © 1999 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
